The NEW YORK JOURNAL OF COMMERCE,
which comes as regularly as clockwork,
has not had the compliments of the SPEC
TAToR fer year or mere. When We say
it is a great, an able and powerfully in
fuential journal that would seem to be
suffcisnt-at least conclusively to express
our high appreciation of its merits, but We
want Others not familiar with it to see and
judge for themselves. Its editorials range
over every subject of chief interest in the
United States, and its discussion of foreign
affairs conducts the reader to an intelligent
and satisfactory comprehension Of European
politics as the chief figures in their govern
ments appear in them. It is not q party
journal, because its chief field is commerce,
and as that great controlling power over
nations is realized in its broadcast infnen-
COS, SO are the readers Of the paper in
formed of the Intercourse and trace re-
lations between their own and all other
countries. 1t takes in hand the staple and
minor products of all our ceuntry-our
manufactured goods and wares, and the
producers of all as well as the spectators
and traders can follow them wherever they
go and learn of their interests, and how to
| deal with questions affecting them. Law,
| literature, and art, have their occasional
space, whilst a regular foreign correspon-
deuce weekly instructs and entertains.-
Commercial law and usages with its origi-
nal department of ''Replies and Decisions
are daily refreshing the memory; enlight-
ening those not informed, and directing the
execution and style of business intercourse.
AS it reports the chief markets of every
leading city in the United States and abroad
with which we have trade RELATIONSHIPS
comments and -lists--the departure
and arrival of sea-going vessels at all oul
chief ports, and in word the completeness
and ability with which it fills it's title as
The Journal Of Commerce, give it a promi-
nence in its special field of operations to
which no other newspaper in the world has
aspired 1t is printed in clear medium
sized type easy to the eye. 1t is so by 80
